“…Photopolymerization is another approach by which monomers can be polymerized by exposure to illuminations such as ultraviolet (UV) light, visible light, laser‐generating radicals (photochemical reaction), or holes (photoelectrochemical reaction) 118,119 . The photopolymerization of CPs such as PPy is divided into two main categories, that is, (i) direct photopolymerization through photoexcitation of the monomer itself and (ii) photopolymerization by using photosensitizer/photoinitiator systems 118,120 . However, most of the CPs cannot be obtained via the former category as it comprises of a more positive oxidation peak potential compared to the redox potential of the photosensitizers 118 .…”

Polypyrrole (PPy) has unique features such as easy synthesis, environmental stability, and high electrical conductivity (approximately 105 S/cm and even >380 S/cm) for bulk and thin‐film materials. Thus, PPy is applied in numerous well‐established applications, such as in sensors, supercapacitors, and resonators. These applications take advantage of the unique properties achieved through the structure and properties of PPy. This article comprehensively elaborates the methods used to synthesize conductive PPy, along with the important factors affecting its conductivity. Emphasis is given to versatile and basic approaches that enable control of the microstructural features that eventually determine PPy conductivity. Despite the intensive research in this area, no previous study has presented all possible relevant information about PPy fabrication and the important factors influencing its electrical conductivity.

“…Clever chemistries can enable the successful formation of CPs using the input of light. More broadly, the creation of CPs using the input of light as a stimulus has a rich history and is the subject of a recent review . This can also allow for multimaterial parts, containing conductive and structural elements, if suitably orthogonal chemistries could be developed.…”

Three‐dimensional (3D) printing brings exciting prospects to the realm of conjugated polymers (CPs) and organic electronics through vastly enhanced design flexibility, structural complexity, and environmental sustainability. However, the use of 3D printing for CPs is still in its infancy and remains full of challenges. In this review, we highlight recent studies that demonstrate proof‐of‐concept strategies to mitigate some of these problems. Two general additive manufacturing approaches are featured: direct ink writing and vat photopolymerization. We conclude with an outlook for this thriving field of research and draw attention to the new possibilities that 3D printing can bring to CPs. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

“…Time to time functionalization of conducting polymers is perhaps more challenging compared to the synthesis of the parent molecules [7,13]. There are various available routes for conducting polymer synthesis such as chemical [14][15][16][17], electrochemical [18][19][20][21], photochemical [22,23], metathesis [24,25], emulsion [26][27][28], plasma [29,30] etc. While synthesis of the polymer is the important first step, frequently the resultant polymer lacks in desired properties at the desired levels.…”

Since the discovery of conductive polyacetylene, conductive electroactive polymers are at the focal point of technology generation and biocommunication materials. The reasons why this research never stops growing, are twofold: first, the demands from the advanced technology towards more sophistication, precision, durability, processability and cost-effectiveness; and second, the shaping of conducting polymer research in accordance with the above demand. One of the major challenges in conducting polymer research is addressing the processability issue without sacrificing the electroactive properties. Therefore, new synthetic designs and use of post-modification techniques become crucial than ever. This quest is not only advancing the field but also giving birth of new hybrid materials integrating merits of multiple functional motifs. The present review article is an attempt to discuss the recent progress in conducting polymer grafting, which is not entirely new, but relatively lesser developed area for this class of polymers to fine-tune their physicochemical properties. Apart from conventional covalent grafting techniques, non-covalent approach, which is relatively new but has worth creation potential, will also be discussed. The aim is to bring together novel molecular designs and strategies to stimulate the existing conducting polymer synthesis methodologies in order to enrich its fascinating chemistry dedicated toward real-life applications.
